Knowledge
Lyrically maniacal
Maniacally lyrical
crazed in the violence
of my own emotions
I can't sit still
not even in my mind
screaming at the hollows
of my underburdened soul
leaving only empty space.
With nothing left to say
but that I'm simply lost for words
which it seems says all there is
and leaves no room for argument
which is the biggest punishment
where nothing would suffice
I'm wrapped up in the guilt of living
life so barely burdened
and the feeling so contrary
telling me that I am hurting
the thought so clean inside my head
that I know and do all what's right
but slammed against my confidence
"All I know is that I don't know nothing"

The title and last line from Operation Ivy's song. ("Knowledge"). The knowledge is that "I don't know nothing." That is, anything. Including any clue as to what this poem means. I know it means something, it's very meaningful, but I just don't know what.
